THE NEW COUNTIES

As some of our readers do not seem to
know where our new counties come from,
that were created by the recent legisla-
ture, we herewith give the names and
location. The county lines of Hodgeman,
Ford, Finney and Hamilton were changed,
and these counties so reduced in size that
instead of the four, we now have ten
counties, an increase of six. The old
counties are named as before, while the
new counties are Garfield, Gray, Grant,
Haskell, Kearney and Stanton. These
new counties are all unorganized, of
course, and increase the number of coun-
ties in the State to one hundred and six.
Il AtchisOn CHAMPION.
We have nothing but the best regards
for the delegation from the "great South
west" who worked these new counties
through the legislative mill. For once,
though, we will remark, the aforesaid great
Southwest found its match when it ran
against the house delegation from the
superb Northwest in battle array. The
Southwest had the severing of Lane
county in her scheme of conquest. The
Northwest told her she could not have it
that way.
The edict was prophetic. After the
Southwest Withdrew from the field, and
asserted that Lane should be let alone,
the Northwest, with commendable mag
nanimity, permitted the organization of
the Southwestern counties to be proceed
ed with at the suggestion of the delegation
from that quarter.
Down there they have more counties
than we have up here in the Northwest.
Many of theirs are too small for any use,
except for the purpose of public bank
ruptcy. Up here we have counties which
are large, symmetrical and regular
beauti6ers of the map. We are in favor
of keeping them this way

Judge.
The ladies attended this caucus in
force, and participated vigorously in the
deliberations. They were not detected
in causing" any OF "the old-time politi-
clans to modify their voice, and assume a
behavior which was more gentle than was
the custom in such places" The men
who attended this meeting were of the
class who naturally behave themselves
without any such restraint.
